A few stories people tell about this place
1. A little girl walked into Baking For The Takin one morning and pointed excitedly at the display case. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘look at those cookies— they look like they’re dancing!’ Her mother smiled warmly and replied, ‘Honey, those are just special cookies our baker makes with tiny sprinkles.’ A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, ‘Actually, ma’am, I saw him adding glitter last night—it’s his secret recipe!’
2. A delivery driver pulled up to Baking For The Takin with a smile on his face. He had just picked up an unusual order—a dozen cookies shaped like mountain goats, destined for someone who loved hiking. As he approached the door, a friendly voice called out: ‘Hey there, delivery guy! Did you bring us our cookies?’ It was their neighbor, holding her walking stick and wearing a parka emblazoned with mountain goat symbols. The driver laughed, realizing these people were as enthusiastic about goats as they were about hiking.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to Baking For The Takin with a frown. He had just realized he’d forgotten the special order for the local school's bake sale. Just as he was about to turn around in despair, an old lady approached him from behind the counter. ‘Don’t worry,’ she said with a twinkle in her eye, ‘I baked an extra batch today.’ She winked and added, ‘It’s always good to have something for the takin’—and for yourself!’
4. A small dog wagged its tail happily as it approached Baking For The Takin, sniffing intently at the aroma of freshly baked goods wafting through the air. Just then, a delivery driver rushed in, panting and holding a large box. ‘I had to run here like crazy!’ he puffed. A big smile spread across his face as he caught sight of the little dog. ‘This is for you,’ he said, handing over a warm cookie wrapped in colorful paper. The dog licked its chops gratefully and wagged even harder, clearly thinking that today was one of those magical days when everything tasted extra good.’
